>Deny and list have both been words for more than 1500 years.

Neat, but denylist isn't a word. Thank you for proving my point.

>Unless someone is trying to be particularly daft, it’s pretty straightforward to put them together and grok a mean.

Except it's not, especially for those who are not as privileged and learn English as a second language. "Broad" and "way" are two words that when put together mean something very different. QED.

>Much better than blacklist.

Not at all, since it's not a word.

>If you didn’t have a dictionary, you would never know.

Thank God the word predates computers and we all know what it means.

>Its a new English word that is widely used

No it's not.

>it may not yet have been picked up by dictionaries, which are trailing catalogs of usage, but that doesn't make it “not a word”.

It's not picked up by dictionaries because it's not a word. Its small usage by activist does not make it a word.

Same reason why the attempt to change the name French fries to "freedom fries" was dumb.

Denylist isn't very much an English word. A nonexistent one at that.

>Removing master is not just Reddit. It has already happened in all big corps in America.

Lemmings and all. It was dumb then, it's dumb now. Lots of repos still use master.

>You don’t have to even look up denylist in the dictionary once.

Sure you do, and it's not there. It's not clear what a denylist is, nor what a blocklist is. Words have meaning.

>Denylist is much more descriptive though.

Not it's not. As someone who speaks English as a second language, the first time I read "whitelist/blacklist", I simply looked them up in a translation dictionary and immediately understood what they mean. Those are actual words with definitions spanning centuries.

There was a reddit outage that occurred due to the madness around "inclusive language" and removing the word "master": https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditEng/comments/11xx5o0/you_brok...

His impact will be essentially zero if he's a responsible defensive driver. I've had a license for 30+ years, have driven millions of miles, and have never, not once, been at fault in an accident.

Ah, it's related to fictional grievance studies! Make sense since cultural appropriation is also fictitious.

>Making fun of dominant religions, that are in no danger of being wiped out because people find them ridiculous, is fine.

Making fun of any religion is fine. No religion is above reproach, no religion is beyond mockery. None of them.

>Making fun of marginalized religions

Here's a newspeak term. There is no such thing as a "marginalized religion". This is a fictitious concept.

>which are already frequently ridiculed because they're different from what the dominant culture does, and which are under threat, either overall or within a given area, is a very different matter.

Good, every religion should be ridiculed. There's no culture that's beyond ridicule.

You're trying to create an illogical concept where hatred of White people is a reasonable thing. You can't come straight out and say it, so you launder the idea through a luxury belief and magically the hatred is tolerable.

>The problem with cultural appropriation is specifically that it exacerbates marginalization and discrimination against already-marginalized groups.

No it doesn't, because "cultural appropriation" doesn't exist. Upholding cultures even if they're backwards because it's politically fruitful breeds resentment. This is "baizou" behavior.

>If I, a white man living in upstate NY, were to don Haudenosaunee ritual gear and record myself performing a traditional dance of theirs, that would be cultural appropriation.

No it wouldn't. It wouldn't be because cultural appropriation doesn't exist. Culture is not a zero sum game. You doing that takes away nothing from the originating culture.

>It refers to a dominant culture taking the trappings of a colonized or otherwise marginalized culture and using them for entertainment, for clout, or otherwise for our own purposes.

Ah yes, White original sin and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion-tier rhetoric about the international White conspiracy. Conspiracy theories about some "dominance" and hierarchy of cultures on some fabricated scale is what the Nazis used to justify cleansing Europe of the Jews.

>On the other hand, if I were to travel to Japan, stay at a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), and wear the simple kimono they provide for guests, or go to a kimono rental shop and rent a kimono from them for the day, that would be cultural appreciation, because that is something that the Japanese offer openly as a way for foreigners to connect with and understand their culture.

Japanese offer openly people to wear kimonos anywhere. It's often a gift given so others can wear them outside of Japan. You can appreciate culture anywhere.

>In general, cooking and eating food of another culture in your own home cannot be cultural appropriation. (The only exception I can think of offhand is if the food is part of a closed religious practice of some sort.) Similarly with music—it's very unlikely to be cultural appropriation unless the music is part of a religious practice or being used disrespectfully. Hairstyles and clothing require a bit more nuance and can depend on the situation.

Not in general, in totality: none of the aforementioned things are "cultural appropriation". The concept is an illusion.

>Cultural appropriation is a very real thing

No it's not. It's about as real of a thing as the miasma theory. It's a idea that's been laundered through academia, but that doesn't make it anything but "well researched" fiction.

Should have used crablang.

This is a predicament everywhere in the US, the suburbs are not alone in this issue of debt financing for... everything...

That's not true for Texas. In Texas, the entire costs of suburbs are paid for in property taxes and utility district fees and bonds. Texas is one of the few states where the majority of taxes collected by the state are property taxes. Or so I was told by a coworker living in Texas when I brought this up.

>Suburban hellscapes where you have to drive 40 minutes to buy groceries are cheap

These so called "hellscapes" are no longer cheap. Waves of people are fleeing the cities to these "hellscapes."

Zoomer moment. That line predates you.

I wonder how much Elon Musk becoming a right-wing darling will change the perception of EVs in red states. Cybertruck anyone?

If you used Omegle for more than 30 seconds, you'd know it was filled with sexual predators exposing themselves to children. I'm surprised it lasted this long. I'm sympathetic to the creator, I don't think tools should be banned because there are bad users, but Omegle's user base has its reputation for a reason.

Good riddance. Identity politics rags like Jezebel have made the world a worse place.

Enterprises are the ones building their own systems. Oxide and Supermicro are direct competitors.

Oxide will eat Supermicro's lunch. There's no offering that Supermicro and other vendors can offer that comes close to what an integrated Oxide rack will provide.

What link? No link that I can find mentions anything about MyQ and remote attestation.

That's not what's happening, unless you have a source. They're now only allowing API calls from specific approved integrations like ITTT.

This didn't involve remote attestation.

After I learned that NFTs were essentially just signed git commits, I wrote them off as a hilarious grift. I feel bad for the people that were injured, so here's my advice: run away from NFTs and crypto. RUN AWAY!

>I've learned some very good tips from 2.5 admins

Such as?

Jim Salter is an insufferable has been. He's a SJW-type that threatened to delete his reddit account and closed off the ZFS subreddit but came crying back like a childish addict after the reddit admins threatened to take his fiefdom away.

>The elite at Sun Microsystems largely did all three out of necessity

Some of it quite poorly, which is why Sun lost to Linux and other hardware companies, and why basically no one used Joyent.

>And that's who runs Oxide.

It's basically "rewrite it in Rust" Sun Microsystems. Best of luck, but I don't see them being anything besides a niche player with some interesting tech that doesn't beat the competition enough to matter.
